  • DVD project, best LCD monitor, >24 inches, <500$ ?

    Hi Everyone!
    I am a new to video editing and I am trying to make a DVD. That is no action movie (It is a tutorial) but it is still a serious project.

    I would like to buy an LCD monitor that will allow be to do a decent job. I am not looking for these 8,000$ screens that are clearly out of reach for my wallet… 🙁

    I would like to be above 24 inches (29 is better).
    AND under 500/600 $.

    According to your valuable knowledge, what is the best compromise/deal out there?

    Thanks a bunch.

    Guillaume.

    Goto dell.com and search for “monitor”. There are several large ones for less than $300.

    If you are producing for DVD, you should probably be looking for a good calibrated NTSC monitor. Why do you want a 29 inch LCD monitor?

    Is your project HD or SD? If HD, you will have to downconvert to SD for DVD anyway. Color accuracy is more important than size.
